Pinocchio’s Truthfulness Spread

On This Day

Pinocchio, a timeless tale of mischief, heart, and adventure, was released this day in 1940. Pinocchio is a youth finding his way toward self-worth and self-esteem. When circumstances grow beyond Pinocchio’s control, his lies and rationalization result in the famous growing nose.
